Hi-Res Music produces a number of DVD Audio recordings that can be played back on DVD players. Output is directly from the DVD digital out to the Bryston DAC. Most of Hi-Res's releases are from the Concord Label and you are into small combo jazz it's worth a look.
Most DVD-Audio discs can be played on DVD players, but this is achieved by including a separate Dolby Digital track on the same disc - what you end up hearing is significantly inferior to the "proper" DVD-A recording. Either that, or the player automatically downsamples the signal before sending it to the processor.
I'm not familiar with Hi-Res music in particular, so this may not apply to them. (They may, for example, be DTS 96/24 stereo format rather than DVD-Audio).
But one thing you can be sure of: it is physically impossible to pass a five- or 6-channel 24-bit/96kHz signal from a player to a processor over a standard digital connection. It's possible to send an uncompressed stereo 24/96 signal over a coax connection (just) - but anything higher than that needs a different type of connector and cable (e.g. Firewire, HDMI, MHR Smartlink, etc.)
